I changed the ppfilter.pl program to:
if (scalar @ARGV == 2 and $ARGV[0] =~ /pilchard/i and $ARGV[0] =~
/443/ and $ARGV[1] =~ /rsa/i) {
print "ntpc99\n";
open FH, '>>D:\tmp\ppfilter.txt' or exit 1;
print FH 'Called with arguments: ' . join(', ', @ARGV) . ".\n";
close FH;
}
else {
exit 2;
}
This outputs the following line (once) to ppfilter.txt when starting as a
Console App, and the same (also once) when trying to start as a Service:
Called with arguments: pilchard.uk.radan.com:443, RSA.
So the program DOES get called, and with the same arguments too!
Perhaps the Apache Service doesn't pick up the STDOUT from the program
properly? Kirk Benson's patch which I needed to get SSLPassPhraseDialog
working at all was to do with child processes not correctly inheriting
STDOUT/STDERR, and his e-mail at the time (2000-05-10 18:17:44) mentioned
something about him not being sure what was supposed to happen when
running as a Service.

I'll have a look at this when I get a chance.
Thanks,
